Chest odds revealed

[Quovatis]

Thanks for providing (by force from Apple) the chest odds to the community. I have always assumed the big prize had about a 5% chance in chests, but a lot of times it's worse than that. The elephant stable, for example, has a 3.85% chance per chest.

I bought 5 and got 2 stables out of them, which is incredibly lucky. An alliance mate bought 50 and got 0 stables.

But look at the Aviation chest...it's the worst. Wow, the odds at getting a nightwitch hangar is only 1.0%. That means a player would have to spend more than $200 before they would expect to get one. That's just ridiculous. Glad I can see the odds now. When you start getting at low percentages, the difference between 1% and 4% is huge.

I got 63 chests across 3 accounts and got 0 stables.

Marco showed up for 10 minutes and is gone now. Didn't get to get what I needed.

I also didn't see chest odds anywhere.

I think they took it down because of a bug. When I bought the emperor chest and opened it, the screen was stuck, and I had to restart the game.

Click on the '?' at the top when viewing the mystery chest info. It will open a screen with all the odds listed. By design, they make it hard to see.

No chest odds because no chests.

I bought $50 of crowns to get ancient chests as soon as I saw Marco. I didn't get the crowns. I emailed CS to get the crowns. Marco went away before CS gave me the crowns. Now I've got $50 of crowns with nothing to spend them on.

Not happy.

Marco was a big screw up again. Do you not have anybody testing things ever in development?

First marco today was great lasted 5 minutes came back crap like usual

Do we really need a Marco polio thread everytime he shows up? We’ve established that he has crap and the only thing worth getting is the troop chests and whatever he has for 1 crown and did you really need the odds to tell you that you probably aren’t gonna get the good prize? It’s like going to a flea market and buying your kid a knock off toy and being surprised that it breaks before you get home

This isn't a Marco thread. This is just pointing out the chest odds, which are present in the daily sales as well as Marco (sometimes)

It took China and Apple to do it but at least we have some transparency. The odds on these chest are pretty much what I thought they would be. Like 95% chance of silk in Emperors chest....lol no not when I can buy silk with crowns for much MUCH less money....which I never would.

I refuse to get any chest that contains the possibility of trade goods or anything other than troop cards or buildings. I get chests for troop cards, and nothing else.
